About Gluten-Free Michetta
The art of baking bread is as old as mankind’s history. Throughout different cultures, bread has taken countless shapes, textures, and flavors. However, some breads leave an everlasting imprint due to their unique qualities. Here, on Your Gourmet Guru, we’ve opted to celebrate one such distinctive bread – Gluten-Free Michetta.
The Special Michetta
Traditionally, Michetta is an Italian bread, notable for its unique shape resembling a flower in bloom. However, our variant stands out as it is gluten-free. With a rise in awareness about gluten intolerance, we’ve noticed a growing demand for gluten-free alternatives in baking. Our Gluten-Free Michetta strikes the perfect balance between healthy and appetizing.
Wholesome Ingredients, Delectable Taste
This special bread is not just gluten-free, it has a delightful odor crafted by a harmonious blend of sugar, active dry yeast, and unsalted butter. It includes the nutritional goodness of eggs and milk, with the optional addition of xanthan gum for improved texture. The smell it produces while baking is sure to arouse your senses and make your mouth water.
A Versatile Delight
Gluten-Free Michetta is great on its own, but it trusts its versatility for extra flair in various other dishes. Pair it up with fresh salads like Greek Salad where it does an excellent job of soaking up the flavorful juice while keeping its structure. It could also compliment meat dishes, such as the beloved Beef Wellington. You could even use it to enhance your Tomato Basil Soup, giving it an extra layer of texture and flavor.
So, whether you’re baking it for a dinner party or just satisfying a personal craving, our Gluten-Free Michetta is sure to enthrall your taste buds. Make it your next culinary project and taste the difference for yourself.
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups gluten-free all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup warm milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, but recommended for better texture)
- Additional melted butter for brushing on top
Method
Step One
First, gather all of your ingredients. You will need gluten-free all purpose flour, sugar, active dry yeast, salt, eggs, warm milk, unsalted butter, xanthan gum and additional melted butter for brushing.
Step Two
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Stir well to combine. Then, make a well in the center of this mixture.
Step Three
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then, pour them into the well you’ve formed in your dry ingredients. Add the warm milk and melted butter as well, stirring well to combine. Continue to stir until you have a smooth batter.
Step Four
If you’re using the optional xanthan gum for better texture, now’s the time to add it. Sprinkle it evenly across your batter, then stir until it’s thoroughly combined.
Step Five
Turn out your batter onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it’s smooth and elastic. Then, shape it into a ball, place it back in your bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it’s doubled in size (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
Step Six
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Then, punch down your dough and divide it into your desired number of rolls. Arrange these rolls on a greased baking sheet, then brush them with the additional melted butter.
Step Seven
Bake your rolls in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on top. Then, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Step Eight
Once they’re cooled, your gluten-free Michetta are ready to enjoy! Serve them warm with your favorite sandwich fillings or simply butter and jam.
